Iggy Pop

26th August 1988   Reading Festival

Contact Sheet 11A

The ill fated Reading where Bonnie Tyler and Meatloaf got bottled by an unforgiving crowd on the Saturday night.

The line up, even on Friday, reads like a hodge podge of musical genres shoehorned together by an out of touch promoter.

The Wonderstuff, Ghost Dance, The Godfathers, Fields of the Nephalim, The Ramones and Mr James Osterberg himself as headliner. 

From Indie Pop to Goth to Punk to Iggy in one day.

No wonder the natives were restless!

Fun Fact: I grew up in Reading and worked as a litter picker at Reading Festival in my younger days
